>Dal LaMagna is one of the funniest, most original people I've ever met. He puts his money, passion and creativity to work for what he believes in. I say that with particular appreciation because he was the first person ever to invest in me. Dal is a born storyteller who has good material to work with. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh--and think about how you are living your life. -- Nina Rothschild Utne, Co-Founder Utne Reader, Founder Future Fit&nbsp7 years 24 weeks ago

>Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

>This was so much fun, I couldn't put it down. Anyone who names himself and his business "TWEEZERMAN" has to be fearless and RAISING EYEBROWS proves Dal LaMagna is that and much more. It's not fair to think of this merely as a business and self-improvement book, no matter how booksellers may label it. It's a truly inspiring story of self-examination and a discovery of human nature and how we can work and live more happily and productively as a society. And LaMagna’s funny and surprising stories are more entertaining than a whole season of THE WEST WING or MAD MEN, though they might well conjure up images of both.
I can't think of anyone who has faced failure with such fortitude and made it a learning experience, over and over. He polished the rough stone that he was handed, over and over, until it became a shining gem. The stories of the adventure en route to stunning success are hilarious and constantly entertaining, but that doesn’t distract from the remarkably candid and often humble insights he offers about life and business.
Dal has managed to gain extraordinary insight into himself - and by extension, into all of us - with keen personal and universal perception that Woody Allen might have hoped for from decades of expensive psychoanalysis. At least as funny as Woody, Tweezerman did it by himself, looking at his strengths and weaknesses without flinching and being willing to learn from what he saw.
RAISING EYEBROWS makes me wish we had people in elected office who were as unabashedly honest and caring as Tweezerman, and who could admit and learn from even the most embarrassing mistakes. Then they might make the country today as functional and successful for its citizens as LaMagna made his company for himself - and all those who worked with him.
